An original 11" x 14" vertical fine art painting on a canvas panel. Tempestuous captures the raw, electric fury of nature at its most untamed. A powerful purple waterspout descends from a heavy, churning storm canopy, cutting across a dark horizon line as brilliant veins of lightning tear through the atmosphere. In the foreground, a massive, turbulent wave crashes forward with seafoam and spraying water, pulling the viewer directly into the heart of the oceanic storm. Filled with dramatic motion, deep violet tones, and striking contrasts, this authentic piece brings a bold, atmospheric energy to any space.
Tempestuous
Thank you supporting Art by Mark Jordan! To ensure the longevity of your painting and preserve its value, please follow these guidelines:
Storage & Transport:
No glass contact: Never let the painted surface touch glass or acrylic glazing. Changes in temperature can cause the paint to “bond” to the glass, leading to permanent damage when separated. Use spacers if framing.
Acid-Free only: When wrapping for storage or moving, use acid-free glassine paper directly against the paint. Avoid plastic wrap or bubble wrap touching the surface, as they can trap moisture or leave patterns in the acrylic.
Breathable packing: Once wrapped in glassine, use sturdy cardboard “sandwiches” to prevent punctures during transit.
Advanced Environment Control:
Temperature stability: Acrylic paint is thermoplastic; it softens in heat (becoming tacky) and can become brittle and crack in extreme cold. Aim for a consistent 64˚F to 75˚F.
Vertical Storage: Always store paintings upright. Stacking them flat can lead to pressure marks or sticking, even with protective layers.
Handling & Display:
Touch edges only: oils from skin can damage the surface over time.
Avoid direct sunlight: UV rays cause fading; hang in a shaded or UV-protected area.
Climate control: Maintain a stable environment. Avoid humid bathrooms or spots above active fireplaces.
Cleaning:
Dust lightly: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a clean squirrel-hair brush.
No chemicals: Never use glass cleaners, water, or solvents, which can cloud the acrylic polymer.
Surface Safety:
Avoid “wet” cleaning: If a dry dusting isn’t enough, consult a professional conservator. Acrylic is porous, and using even a damp cloth can pull dust deeper into the paint film.
The Certificate of Authenticity (COA): Your painting includes a COA, which serves as its legal “birth certificate.”
Keep it separate: Store the COA in a fireproof safe or a secure digital file.
Resale value: You must present this document if you ever choose to appraise or sell the work.
Watermarked for security: Your COA (as well as this care guide) are watermarked to provide enhanced security and validity to the COA as well as prevent the reproduction of counterfeit COAs.
